The published core outcomes set was developed by an international Working Group of leading health professionals, measurement experts, and patients representing 7 countries on 3 continents. Capturing outcomes of care that matter most for adult patients seeking treatment for overactive bladder, the Set focuses on measures of symptom severity, physical functioning, emotional health, and impact of disease and treatment on quality of life. Once implemented, the data recommended for collection in the Standard Set will provide key information for quality improvement activities and research for the benefit of patients around the world.
In addition to this month’s publication, supplemental resources on the ICHOM Overactive Bladder Standard Set can be found at http://www.ichom.org/medical-conditions/overactive-bladder/.
